Fluxbox not working with RH9
ok so i downloaded the rpm for redhat9, installed it. stopped x, started x.
now it shows in my sessions menu at boot up. I switch to it, but when the windows manager starts, flux box dosent run, the TWM starts. I read up on configuring fluxbox, if I was on flux I should be able to right click on the desktop to bring up the menu. I can only left mouse click and start a term.
here is how my XINITRC file looks
----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the binary file is at
Code:
/usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox
and the folder is at
Code:
/usr/share/fluxbox
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are things That I did to the XINITRC file none worked. ( changes at the bottom)
/usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox at the bottom
(then)
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 ]; then
exec fvwm2
else
exec fluxbox
fi
fi
exec /usr/share/fluxbox
(then replaced that with)
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
